A female reporter who went after a group of guys that heckled her outside a Toronto FC game at the weekend says she was sick of being treated like a 'piece of meat' at work every day - and that it was finally time to 'push back'.

Furthermore, one of the so-called 'neanderthals' involved in the abuse lost his job Tuesday after footage of the incident caused a social media firestorm.

It started Sunday outside the TFC game. CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt was interviewing two men afterwards when another man burst on camera and said into her microphone: 'F--- her in the p----.'

The boorish heckle has become 'trendy' all over the world, and Hunt decided to stop the interview and going after the man who said the words she is sick of hearing.

Confrontation: This is the man who said the vulgar comment to Hunt. In live footage taken of the incident, Hunt confronts the man and asks him why he would say such a 'disgusting' thing to her

'When you talk into my microphone and say that into my camera to viewers at the station I work at, that is disrespectful and degrading to me,' Hunt says to the hecklers

In the video, which quickly went video, Hunt says to the man: 'It's a disgusting thing to say. It's degrading to women.

She continues: 'You would humiliate me on live TV? When you talk into my microphone and say that into my camera to viewers at the station I work at, that is disrespectful and degrading to me.'

He may not still be laughing though, no that his friend has been fired for what he said.

Ontario's largest electricity provider, Hydro One, issued a statement today saying it has fired one of its employees in connection with the lewd disruption.

A Hydro One official identified the employee as Shawn Simoes, but spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to name him for privacy reasons.

Simoes is shown in the video using an expletive and calling his friend's remark hilarious before telling the reporter she is lucky they didn't have a vibrator.

Hunt said she has often been the victim of the remarks while doing live television interviews.

'I hit my limit and I had to push back,' she said Tuesday.

'I wasn't going to stand for it anymore. It was time to say something.'

Hunt added to The Toronto Sun: 'This is something that happens to reporters on a daily basis but on Sunday at the TFC game it was out of control. I had intoxicated men yelling it at me. I was interrupted during interviews and was anxious about going live. I felt like a piece of meat.'
